     View Summary

    Background and Objectives: Previous studies have evaluated the diagnostic effect of amyloid PET in selected research cohorts. However, these studies did not assess the clinical impact of the combination of amyloid and tau PETs. Our objective was to evaluate the association of the combination of 2 PETs with changes in diagnosis, treatment, and management in a memory clinic cohort.Methods: All participants underwent amyloid [18F]florbetaben PET and tau PET using [18F]PI-2620 or [18F]Florzolotau, which are potentially useful for the diagnosis of non-Alzheimer disease (AD) tauopathies. Dementia specialists determined a pre- and post-PET diagnosis that existed in both a clinical syndrome (cognitive normal [CN], mild cognitive impairment [MCI], and dementia) and suspected etiology, with a confidence level. In addition, the dementia specialists determined patient treatment in terms of ancillary investigations and management. Results: Among 126 registered participants, 84.9% completed the study procedures and were included in the analysis (CN [n = 40], MCI [n = 25], AD [n = 20], and non-AD dementia [n = 22]). The etiologic diagnosis changed in 25.0% in the CN, 68.0% in the MCI, and 23.8% with dementia. Overall changes in management between pre- and post-PET occurred in 5.0% of CN, 52.0% of MCI, and 38.1% of dementia. Logistic regression analysis revealed that tau PET has stronger associations with change management than amyloid PET in all participants and dementia groups. Discussion: The combination of amyloid and tau PETs was associated with changes in management and diagnosis of MCI and dementia, and the second-generation tau PET has a strong impact on the changes in diagnosis and management in memory clinics. Classification of Evidence: This study provides Class I evidence that the combination of amyloid and tau PETs was associated with changes in management and diagnosis of MCI and dementia.

  • Prognostic significance of serum testosterone level in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer treated with cabazitaxel

    Background: Serum testosterone level is a potential prognostic marker for castration-resistant prostate cancer. However, its role as a prognostic marker in cabazitaxel chemotherapy remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the clinical significance of serum testosterone levels before cabazitaxel chemotherapy. Methods: This single-institution, retrospective study included 47 patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who received cabazitaxel therapy. Serum testosterone levels were measured before the initiation of cabazitaxel therapy. Results: Progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) were not significantly different between patients with high and low serum testosterone levels. Analysis of patients aged <70 years revealed that those with high serum testosterone levels (total testosterone level > 0.055 ng/mL) had significantly longer OS than those with low serum testosterone levels (total testosterone level < 0.055 ng/mL, p = 0.012). Multivariate analysis revealed that low serum testosterone levels (hazard ratio [HR] = 11.874, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.076–67.953, p = 0.005) and high prostate-specific antigen levels (HR = 18.051, 95% CI 2.462–132.347, p = 0.004) in the pretreatment phase were independent prognostic factors for OS in patients receiving cabazitaxel therapy. Conclusions: Serum testosterone level may be a prognostic marker for cabazitaxel therapy in patients with mCRPC who are younger than 70 years, and high serum testosterone levels may lead to longer survival.

     View Summary

    Objectives: Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (sDAVF) is a rare and often underdiagnosed spinal disease. Early diagnosis is required because the deficits are reversible and delays in treatment cause permanent morbidity. Although the abnormal vascular flow void is a critical radiographic feature of sDAVF, they are not always present. A characteristic enhancement pattern of sDAVF has been recently reported as the “missing-piece” sign which can lead to the early and correct diagnosis. Methods: We presented imaging findings, treatment decisions, and the outcome of a rare case of sDAVF, in which the “missing-piece” sign appeared atypical. Results: A 60-year-old woman developed numbness and weakness in her extremities. Spinal MRI revealed longitudinal hyperintensity in the T2-weighted image, extending from the thoracic level to medulla oblongata. At first, myelopathy with inflammation or tumor was suspected because of the lack of flow voids and vascular abnormalities in CT-angiography and MR-DSA. However, we administered intravenous methylprednisolone and her symptom got worse with the appearance of the “missing-piece” sign. Then, we successfully diagnosed sDAVF by angiography. The “missing-piece” sign was considered to derive from inconsistency of the intrinsic venous system of spinal cord, with the abrupt segments without enhancement. The same etiology was considered in our case. Conclusions: Detecting the “missing-piece” sign can lead to the correct diagnosis of sDAVF, even if the sign appeared atypical.
